Arlington GArden Club - Supporting our local communities

In addition to the social opportunities it offers, the Arlington Garden Club is active in the local communities where our members live. Our volunteers, which currently total more than 100 members, work hard throughout the year on fundraising events to support local programs. During the last 10 years (as of year-end 2025), for example, we have provided:

• $35,500 in scholarships to local youth.
• $29,000 to community programs or organizations. Recent examples include: local high school FFA programs, food banks, the City of Arlington for beautification efforts, WSU Foundation programs (both Forestry and Northwest Research and Extension Services), Sarvey Wildlife Care Center, and the Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens.

Read more about our two major fundraising events, the Holiday Garden Art and Crafts and the Annual Plant Sale. 

In addition, AGC members themselves are active in local food banks, including the Arlington Food Bank. Members join in collecting donated food items from local business, as well as participating in work parties at local farms and donating produce from their own gardens.
